Reviews for Hotel Skeppsholmen

Review 1：Totally stupid and flat washstand in the bathroom with almost no water pressure. Very limited menu in the restaurant.

Review 2：Good location and comfortable bed.

Review 3：The reception is allways very uncertain in quality service... Depending on people answering you. The same fealing for my 5 last visits...

Review 4：The place, the decoration, the atmosphere... So beautifull in winter time with the snow outside!

Review 5：During my last night there was heavy wind outside, it sounded as if someone was blowing hard into a glass bottle. It was a bit distracting but I was able to sleep really good regardless.

Review 6：I got a handwritten welcome note - I realize this might not be possible during busier seasons but it made me feel very welcome! :-) I got upgraded to a larger room for free and I had a great view over a very snowy Kastellholmen. I had a wonderful time the staff is extremely friendly, the food is great and the beds are very soft - though they offer to change the pillows if you need something more solid! :-) Customer service is all about the details, and they've nailed it. Going as far as to offer a portable mobile charger to take around Stockholm if you need it during your stay. The fact that your room key comes packed in a folded map of Stockholm is also pretty thoughtful.

Review 7：The breakfast there was excellent. The location of the hotel was convenient. It's a short walk to the city and very close to Moderna Museet. Quiet and cozy rooms (good size too). Good food in the restaurant. It's our second time there, once last summer. This time, it was so nice to see the hotel in winter!

Review 8：I like the atmosphere. The place is magical. Sea and City view one of the bests in Stockholm and a warm welcome staff with excellent personal attention on every need. Skeppsholmen Hotel is the reflection of one of the most beautiful cities around the world as Stockholm is.

Review 9：Our first room before the upgrade to 141. It was not so comfortable......and the sitting room should be more comfortable...

Review 10：The location of the hotel, the restaurant atmosphere and the food!

Review 11：Our room was very cold first and we had to change rooms in order to get a warm room. After that we were very comfortable.

Review 12：Location, design, breakfast, view. Our favorite hotel in Stockholm.

Review 13：This was our favourite place to stay in a month long trip around Scandinavia. It is a peaceful location yet so central. We made use of the ferry to get places. Excellent restaurant for breakfast and dinner, friendly staff, modern design yet sits beautifully in its surroundings. Highly recommended.

Review 14：Amazing hotel, location is stunning and quiet for the center of Stockholm, the rooms are really well designed and equipped. Breakfast was magic and the staff were very helpful.

Review 15：Small complaint, which was the lack of available seating at breakfast.

Review 16：Beautiful hotel, location is stunning and quiet for the middle of Stockholm, the rooms are really well designed and equipped, and the staff are very helpful.

Review 17：Bathrooms compact but very functional

Review 18：Beautifully converted old property with modern fixtures and fittings. Very easy access to ferries and bicycles to centre of town.

Review 19：rooms are small, bathrooms even more so, overdesigned...

Review 20：the location is fantastic - it's like being in the archipelagio, but bang in the city center!

Review 21：The WiFi does not work well so I have to constantly go out of my room to get signal.

Review 22：The hotel has a very nice design. Room is small, but nice, clean, and neat, with good view of the nature. The location is also very unique, it's on an island, but with easy access to the center of city. The staff have been very helpful. They have arranged some of the best restaurants for me. I will stay at the hotel again if I go to Stockholm.

Review 23：The receptionists were a little cold - it would be better if they walked us to our room as we had a lot of luggage and the card initially didn't work. The room was also pretty small.

Review 24：Really good breakfast, lots of choice and nice views of the lake. Loved the shower.

Review 25：No dedicated hotel parking and public parking quite expensive. Though, hotel offers daily parking cards for a reasonable price.

Review 26：Very nice hotel beautifully located on Skeppsholmen island. Only 10 to 15 minutes walk from only town. Quiet, nice garden terrasse and tasty Swedish breakfast buffet. Room with sea view!

Review 27：Pre-arranged midnight airport pickup was cancelled by the taxi company.

Review 28：Very friendly and helpful staff! The breakfast is super good! Walking distance to the old town or one can take a ferry to the old town as well. Lovely views from the hotel. We will stay here again in our next trip!

Review 29：We had two rooms and I requested that they were close together. Unfortunately they were at opposite ends of the building.

Review 30：Lovely quiet location . Easy walk into the centre of Stockholm

Review 31：Needs an indoor lounge area...The bedroom telephone did not work which was a bit awkward

Review 32：The setting on the island was stunning. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Most hospitable. The food was sublime. ..did not anywhere else kept returning for great meals and entertained friends here who loved it too

Review 33：Rooms are pretty small and although the reservation allowed for adding an extra bed for our son, there was barely enough space.

Review 34：The place is great, within 10 minutes walk from the city, a short boat ride from all other parts of the city, among trees, quiet. Breakfast is great.

Review 35：Not much! A tiny gym and no complimentary water. But their tap water is supposed to be good.

Review 36：The staff, the breakfast, the tennis court, the location. It's close enough to the city and far enough to spend an afternoon sitting on a deck chair reading a book. Rooms are big enough for a family of three. Friendly and helpful staff. Sandra and Karl were super helpful! The restaurant is great, my husband had the best appetizer in his entire life there! Next to the Modern Museum and got a couple of restaurants on the island. Nice view of the palace and Vasa Museum.

Review 37：A minor point but it would have been nice to have tea/coffee making facilities in our room.

Review 38：Peaceful but central location. Easy to get to all attractions with excellent access to a choice of transportation. We loved taking the ferry, a short walk from the hotel. We had an upgrade. Our room was beautifully facing the river with the most comfortable bed ever! The young staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them.

Review 39：Only comment was hand basin Looked great but not practical.

Review 40：We often come to Stockholm to visit grandchildren and family so we plan now to return here for our stay. The position was wonderful. Room was great with fantastic view and breakfast was to die for! Wonderful.

Review 41：Duvet too thick for May.

Review 42：Views from the window. The scrambled eggs at breakfast. The two loung chairs in the room for reading. The lighting for reading and working in the room. The restaurant's Swedish meatballs. The proximity to the ferry and buses. The quiet surrounds and the walking.

Review 43：If any complaints, I'd say that the standard room was small, but that's probably down to my choice at booking. The view certainly compensated, but upgrade to a larger room if possible.,

Review 44：The location was superb and the breakfast really good - scrambled eggs and gravadlax to die for.

Review 45：The room was a touch on the small side, and the bathroom a bit dark. Hearing birds outside in the middle of a city is fantastic, but I'm glad I had earplugs when they decided to screech at 4:45am!

Review 46：Beautiful, park-like setting. I wish I could've sat in the sun loungers all day. And the breakfast was fantastic.

Review 47：Location would be excellent in summer but on dark cold nights might have preferred to be right next to places to eat although only 10 mins walk. Food at hotel great though although small menu.

Review 48：Location and breakfast!

Review 49：The staff were so friendly and helpful - they went out of their way to help with suggestions of things to do. The restaurant is fantastic - wonderful breakfast and a great place for a simple evening meal. Great to have the papers to read in the morning and the star of it all were the chocolate truffles! Highly highly recommended.

Review 50：Everything is best to none, I mean it! Close to everything - don't get turned away by island location - it is very close to everything. Hotel is brand new and stylish - rooms are big for Stockholm standards. Breakfast is tasty and fresh. Absolutely recommended!

Review 51：There should be more stowage space for luggage, clothes and shoes. Specially because it's cold and you travel with more clothes (and bigger ones too).

Review 52：Loved: Location, room view, breakfast. Amazing. Definitely we will come back.

Review 53：nothing

Review 54：Location is great. On a peaceful island that's just a short walk from the main attractions in the city. The lounge and bar area are incredibly relaxing and the buffet breakfast is a real highlight. I've stayed in many boutique hotels around the world and thought this was one of the best.

Review 55：The bathroom has a sliding see through door rather than a 'proper' solid door - it looks great but some might want a bit more privacy if travelling with others. Otherwise all great.

Review 56：Great location if you want a city break that's relaxing as well as well situated for all of the main sites - very peaceful and relaxing hotel with great-looking rooms and a fantastic breakfast.

Review 57：My request for an ironing board took almost 2 hours to be fulfilled. Otherwise, everything was fantastic.

Review 58：The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was superb. Cosy rooms.

Review 59：Lovely hotel . Simple - but comftable .lovely beds and great shower . Lovely view of sea Friendly staff . Very good breakfast . And excellent lunches / dinners Just a short stroll from the centre Defiantly will stay again .

Review 60：separation between bedroom and toilet allowing no provacy. Acoustic insulation between floors due to historical building

Review 61：Beautiful site, calm, easy connections to city, nice, kind and helpful staff, good breakfast (excellent cappuccino), modern designed rooms yet cosy abience

Review 62：No dislikes at all

Review 63：Food at the hotel for both breakfast and evening meal Location - 10 minute walk to the city centre Modern and contemporary décor in the hotel

Review 64：The drain was blocked in the shower

Review 65：Excellent location and view from the room. Very nice surroundings in the middle of Stockholm but very quiet. Close to the center of the town and to the water. Nice standard and very comfortable bed.

Review 66：no wifi in room 133! Designer bathrooms a bit of style over substance - as they often are.

Review 67：this is a real find. Stunning location. Would be absolutely perfect in Summer surrounded by water! Rooms warm but a little cramped. Staff really really friendly and helpful. Wonderfully quiet and restful surroundings.

Review 68：Nothing.

Review 69：Great views across the water, calm relaxed, quiet, good food. Doesn't have the all night party noise of other hotels in Central Stockholm. Excellent choice vs the big corporate hotels.

Review 70：this is my personal opinion: my bed was just uncomfortable, too springy.

Review 71：Amazing place. I would like come back again, this time in the summer vacation. Location is great, hotel is in the city center but hidden on the "green" and silent island. Staff is super nice and kind. regarding the restaurant, Nice food but remember, in the north of Europe kitchens closes early in the evening;)

Review 72：bed was too hard for me and the pillows were to hard (we tried several different types) so didn't sleep well. Dinner in restaurant did not cater well to vegetarian diet and was very over-priced. We were advised to book restaurant as nothing would be open in Stockholm over NY, however there were many options and most shops and restaurants were open. Felt a bit like hotel was trying to influence us into only eating at their restaurant.

Review 73：we liked the location, about 15 min walk to city centre and old town. Great view from our room. Very nice breakfast.

Review 74：Rather small rooms, small breakfast room when crowded, tiny gym.

Review 75：Location (very calm but in walking distance to the city), helpful staff, comfortable (albeit small) rooms, excellent breakfast.

Review 76：Just a detail.. I missed the Byredo Blanche toiletries in room.

Review 77：It is about a high-detail oriented Hotel. The position is amazing. Just 5 minutes walk from Stockholm centre you can find this stunning Design Hotel in modern Scandinavian Style, a great General Manager and a Hotel Staff that will positively surprise you from your check-in to your check-out. Rooms have great comforts, they are super clean with an amazing relaxing bed. View to the waterfront and city is amazing maybe the best in Stockholm but you will also love the garden view with lovely colors in every season. Breakfast included is a must for a great boost of your day and also the restaurant provides a great experience in terms of food and service quality.

Review 78：Showers have no door so tends to make rest of bathroom a bit wet Breakfast is very busy around 8am and you can wait for a table

Review 79：Location is peaceful and has excellent views across the water Building is an old navel college and has a lot of character Staff are exemplary Friendly and relaxed atmosphere Wired internet gave 930MB/Sec

Review 80：I really cant say that there was anything that we did not like.

Review 81：The location is brilliant, very quiet and out of the way yet easy walking to all of the attractions and the centre of town. Room was clean and spacious and the breakfast was excellent.

Review 82：We had a wonderful stay. Very helpful friendly staff and Breakfast was fantastic. Our room was clean and spacious. exactly what you'd expect in a Scandinavian hotel. Really fail to see what other negative reviews felt. We loved our whole 3 day stay.

Review 83：Pillows too soft. To get to the restaurant you had to leave one building then go outside for 20 yards to get to the next building. Not good if its during a Swedish winter

Review 84：Staff all excellent and accommodating. Great service. Clean room with good facilities. Would definitely stay again but would like to come again in the summer to enjoy the spectacular scenery

Review 85：To expensive for the standard. Hotel rooms looks like Ikea and are not practical. Its not Scandinavian design, its no design. Food sent back because not warm and second time still the same.

Review 86：Very nice location

Review 87：Crowded and underequipped breakfast-room. Lack of healthy options food-wise. The only fruit was a sugared fruit-salad, the only bread was white or sugared brown. The diary-products were mislabeled.

Review 88：The atmosphere on Skeppsholmen island is unique, the history of the buildings, the setting in the middle of town yet set apart from the bustle makes this hotel an oasis. Modern design and comfortable rooms.

Review 89：aircon not very effective and i like a cool bedroom

Review 90：1. location - can easily walk into town yet peaceful situation with great views 2. very comfortable room with great bed 3. very helpful staff

Review 91：We thougt it was closer to the centrum and the bus would run at nights. At least not stop at 19.00. The room was small, very small. The pillows was not so good and we could have used a extra duvet og even a blanket.

Review 92：The view, the brekfast was great, the best we have had at a hotel. I am still thinking about the bread and the sauce with the salomon. The bed was fine, the cleen room was nice but very small.

Review 93：First of all, our room category was upgraded for free due to there were no free room by the time we have come and we needed to wait a bit. More than that they provided a free ticket to the modern art museum located nearby so is was possible to enjoy our free time until the room is ready. It was so pleasant! I loved the hotel's desing, it was simple and modern - so Scandinavian :) The room itself was very clean and modern. The staff was more than just polite. They are very helpful and caring. Delicious breakfast in cosy restaurant was a good start for every day of my stay in Stockholm. By the way, the location was much better than I expected. Although the hotel is in a very peaceful place it's just 10 minutes on foot to the whole city center. And the way there has probably even better city views than the center itself. Strongly recommended!

Review 94：Price is high

Review 95：View from our window on the sea and other islands. beautiful redesigned old building in green surroundings. Island Skeppsholmen is harbouring a lot of old tall ships and fisher boats C onnections with other parts of the city by bus,taxi en ferries is fast and easy

Review 96：Poor follow up when my wife tried to recover a mains adapter that we left in the room. Only a small thing but they were disinterested which was a shame.

Review 97：2nd visit - last time in 2010 so thought standards may have slipped - they had not!. Love the location, design, cleanliness and excellent restaurant. A very relaxing place in the centre of a beautiful city.

Review 98：Beautifully decorated hotel, great good, perfect location on an island but only 15 minutes walk to the main city and a short boat ride to other attractions

Review 99：central location - but on an island with scenic views - unique for city hotels very friendly and professional staff delicious breakfast on a beautiful terrace

Review 100：The hand basin design in the bathroom. Never seen anything like it before in all my hotel travels. Failed the test to make it work at all !!

Review 101：Great position, excellent ambiance, and somewhere a little different. Was a great base for a 3 day break in Stockholm Now mastered the #65 bus !

Review 102：Dinner was very ordinary, likewise Breakfast which was manic and rather disorganised!

Review 103：In a beautiful position looking over the sea and across to Sodermalm.

Review 104：Because there is no perimeter fence between the hotel buildings and the public park it felt unsafe. There were also no visible security personnel on the grounds The rooms have nice views but I was afraid to open the windows to enjoy the evening breezes, you don't know who can come in. Park could have been better landscaped

Review 105：The hotel is situated in a park, and "Far from the Madding crowd". The atmosphere of the hotel is relaxed and casual

Review 106：Size of the bed, this is really not done in this type of hotel, really too small, only one blanket that's even smaller than the bed (bed was 1.40mtr) And the other thing is the bathroom, if you take a shower the whole bathroom is wet. We would suggest adding curtains to the rooms.

Review 107：Silent and serene Beautiful nature and scenery on the island Quiet rooms Restaurant (Diner & Breakfast) Location Wifi was very good

Review 108：Great central location. Pleasant atmosphere. Very helpful and smiling staff. Well equipped and comfortable rooms. Fast wifi. Wonderful breakfast. This lovely place has it all

Review 109：Nothing, it was all lovely!

Review 110：The staff were really helpful, the bed was extremely comfortable. Very tastefully designed. Great breakfast and very centrally located.

Review 111：wifi did not work properly, too weak signal (asked to have it fixed but it did not help). Having a teenager without access to the internet is not fun. The hotel did not offer tickets to the ferries

Review 112：really nice location close to the city but away from the buzz, clean and quiet rooms. Delicious breakfast. Friendly staff that wanted to help if they could.

Review 113：The bed was really small for 2 people. The hotel is located right opposite an amusement park, so you can hear people screaming and laughing all day long, not very pleasant as it clashes with the overall peacefulness of the hotel and location

Review 114：Staff was super friendly. The restaurant is really good. It has plenty of space outside, which with good weather are great to enjoy. Overlooking the water. Very close to the ferry Walking distance from the main area of the city

Review 115：Small rooms. Staff were useless about ferry service. To far away from city Center . Will not stay there again unless I'm with my wife who booked the hotel!

Review 116：Quiet . Ability to sit outside. Nice people

Review 117：The wifi is pretty weak and although the rooms are very beautiful, there was a slight lack of storage space and places to put things. More traditional types may not like the modern minimalist feel but it was fine for us. The staff are friendly but not what you'd call warm - but then I think thats a national trait!

Review 118：Loved the location - the best thing about the hotel. On a little island but also close enough to walk to city centre, old town. For those who don't want to walk there is a bus right outside, and a ferry which takes you to the other side of the water. The breakfast was fabulous and the weather was great for us so we ate our breakfast outside every day, which was beautiful in such a picturesque setting. It was very very quiet which was wonderfully relaxing. I have recommended the hotel to friends.

Review 119：because the blinds did not close properly, there was a lot of light in the room in the morning. So no realy sleaping in.

Review 120：the room was very clean and we loved the bathroom, very good design

Review 121：This is a beautiful hotel in a quiet location and everything is quite perfect. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast is a delight. The restaurant is good. This, surely, has to be one of the great hotels of the world: stylish, relaxed and seductive.

Review 122：That I could not stay longer.

Review 123：Lovely island feel outlook. 'Cosy' hotel and functional yet comfortable rooms. Dining room was elegant, relaxing and the food delicious. Connected to the city yet felt like a holiday miles away from the bussle of the city. Overall a 'refreshing' experience and experiences are what I look for when travelling. Thank you. I hope to be back.

Review 124：Limited options for relaxing outside of the room

Review 125：Great rooms, good location, excellent food

Review 126：Beautiful backdrop of old town on the water, fantastic hotel and the breakfast was superb!

Review 127：There isn't a proper hotel bar

Review 128：The décor of the hotel is perfect.

Review 129：Breakfast, location

Review 130：perfect location, tasty breakfast, warm room

Review 131：actually nothing

Review 132：beautiful hotel so clean amazing staff great location

Review 133：Quiet, comfortable and charming place!!! With an efficient and polite staff!!!
